Improved functional expression of human cardiac kv1.5 channels and trafficking-defective mutants by low temperature treatment.

We herein investigated the effect of low temperature exposure on the expression, degradation, localization and activity of human Kv1.5 (hKv1.5). In hKv1.5-expressing CHO cells, the currents were significantly increased when cultured at a reduced temperature (28°C) compared to those observed at 37°C....
